WINTER.

But, bless You he sings in much the same way
He sung - he ran down the meadows of May.

And II Vs. insist on good, full proof,

Put dow your ear, and make an end of doubt.
So the lowe1s IN winter bloom no more?
Roses re gone, but you surely must see
There are blossoms on blossoms, thousand Tor

Thicker tbED leaves on the summer tree,
PuTer than Toses-ay, whittier than lilies.
And OF siTeT fields than the daffydowndillles.
6ummeT may put flower on each stem,
But these live blossoms, half bird-what OF

Millions on millions, everywhere,
Coming dancing out of the air.
So the skies IL winter are unkind2
Watch sharp the stars, and | think you will find
That instead of looking round the blue,
They glance straight down, aud right at you.
The sight Of all sights for bright young eyes

And 10 TX you not how clear the air is?
That's the work of the witchingest fairies,
The same That make pictures on the pane,
And tape 1cicles out of the rain.

Few Know What They Drink.
From the. Buffalo Courier.

from the, Buffalo Courier.
1T Is fact" said somewhat IA
nous mixer of fancy drinks, last even
ing, that there are very few good
judges of liquor. It is g. very old
chestnut to set out whisky when
brandy is called for and not one in ten
can tell the difference. [ have often
been told by q customer that he had
never tasted finer brandy when he was
drinking q very ordinary whisky.
There are few people who can distin-
guish between high and low priced
wines. Even manufacturers are sold.
Once at q convention of the beer
brewers oil the country | heard a.
brewer boast that he could name any
kind of beer with his eyes blinded. We
tried him, and when the handkerchief
was over his eyes we gave HIM nine
sips out of the same glass and heard
him name nine different brands. That
was very good sport. AS a matter of
fact, this telling liquors by the taste
is very delicate business. By modern
processes distillers can age liquor so
as to fool even the old timers. The
worst case | ever struck was fisher
man who roWed me down the river
last summer. | offered him a swig out
OF g. bottle containing very fine
whisky. He returned it, saying it was
poor stuff. [ handed him a bottle
containing some 'rot-gut' | used to
clean my gun. He took q long pull,
and said it was as good liquor as he
ever tasted ~

Flash, the Pointer.
From the Winthrop CMe.) Budget.

from the WltnrOp (1e.| Budget
Flash, the fine pointer dog belonging
to DR.. G. A. Packard, of Bath, in fol-
lowing his masters carriage through
the street, had the toe of his fore foot
caught under wheel. The claw after
this began to grow out, and the wound
became exceeding painful. One day
the doctor examined the wound, and
said to the dog in a business-like way:
"Well, Flash, think you'll be obliged
to have that claw cut off," Flash
looked up knowingly and wagged his
tail. A day or two later the wound
had become worse and Flash came
limping to his masters Office, laid his
paw upon his lap, and submitted to
painful operation without q twinge.
Not long after DR.. Packard was sur.
prised to see Flash come into his Office
one day with small black ogfollow-
ing him. Flash rushed up to the
doctor and back to the cur, and kept
up this movement some time. At
last the doctor examined the strange
dog snd found that he had been
wounded, and was still bleeding. He
dressed the wound and the dog went
away. In some way, which human
beings would find it hard to under
stand, Flash had induced the wound
ed dog to come to the doctors Office
and have his hurt attended to.

The Mountaineers' Religious Revival
From the Brooklyn Magazine.

FROM the Magazine
In August and September, after the
"crops are laid by" the frugal mount
aineer lays aside his wor dly cares,
and applies himself unreservedly to
the task of carrying on the "big meet
ms" both in his own and the ada
cent neighborhoods. and to the pleas.
ures and duties of hospitality. During
the progress of one of these meetings
every cabin within walking distance OF
the meeting house is thrown open to
any and ali who deign to share it's
shelter. There is no exclusiveness,
and all are equally welcome.
The rude table is loaded with "pine
bread" potatoes, fried chicken, ba-
con or beef, while coffee, strong, black,
and unsweetened, flows like water.
There is no sugar used in the mount
aims, only a black sorghum" molas-
ses, that would make adelicate epicure
shlver. In the kitchen bevy of lank,
silent women seem to be always cook
ing a fresh supply; for the appetite of
the mountaineer, like his religion, is of
an Unsuitable. carniverous type.
These meetings usually last from g.
week to ten days at each church, or
not infrequently-a the people ex-
press it-"ontwell the hull settle
ment is bodashusly cleaned outen
Their grub and pashunce." Then.
nothing daunted, the wearied men and
women will close their wood latched
doors and HE to the f'meetin s." in the
next settlement, sure of a hearty well
come, and ready to seat OUT others,
as they themselves have bebn eaten.
Whole families will thus spend g.
month or more, for there is no COM
modify in which these people are so
prodigal in the expenditure of as time.
Home interests may suffer, stock may
go unberded, fodder ruin on the stalk,
and the more provident women-folks
complain Of threatened scarcity for
coming winter. But the religiously
enthused husbands and fathers will
contentedly sing, pray and shout, as
long as good cheer lasts at their neigh
bors' tables and sinners remain anx-
ious.
Local preachers and exhorters are
seldom paid any salary. TT ey spring
up like mushrooms, with g. diversity
or gifts and lack of gifts as heterogene-
Gus as their interpretations of the
Scripture often are. Yet all are brim-
full of weird. morbid enthusiasm,
and their audiences are easily salts
fed with any orthodox efforts based
upon unlimited lung power and al in
definite fund of emotion.

FARM AND HOME.
There is No Death,

There is NO Death.
There is no DEATH The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore:
And bright in heavens jeWeled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorgauize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fail and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of the May.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our bestowed things away,
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desoIate:
He plucks our fairest sweetest flowers
Transported into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Make glad these scenes of sin and strife
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of life;
And where he sees smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for faint and vice.
He bears it to that world OF light
To dwell III Paradise;
Born unto that undying life,
They leave us but to come again
With joy we welcome them 1.-The same
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near u.s. though unseen,
The dear 1mmorr Il spirits tread
For All the boundleSs universe
Is Life-there are no dead.

and settled for her last bonnet.
81 know you're dying to see my
new Dress" said Mrs Whitman, CAV
ly as she drew her arm within that
OF her husband on his appearance
that evening. Come up stairs and
let me show it. Come along Don't
hang back, George, as ii you were
afraid"
George Whitman went with his
wife passively, looking more like q
man on his way to receive a dreadful
sentence than in expectation of a.
pleasant sight. His thoughts were
bitter.
"Shall my wife become lost to me-"
he said in his heart-'lost to me in g.
world of folly, fashion and extrava-
gance?"
"Sit down. George" she said, lead
ing him to q chair
Her manner had undergone a.
change. The brightness OF her coun-
tenance had departed. She took
something In q hurried way from g.
drawer, and catching up q footstool;
placed it on the floor near him, and
sitting down leaned upon him and
looked tenderly and lovingly into his
face. Then she handed him the lew
eler's bill.
cit is receipted, you see," she said,
and her voice futtered little.
"Mary how is this?" he asked.
"What does it mean 2"
ST returned the WATCH" she replied;
''and Mr.. Rose receipted the bill. [
would have paid for any damage; but
he said it was uninjured, and would
not take anything"
ooh, Mary ~ said her husband.
"And this is receipted also; and
this," she said, handing the other bills
which she had paid. Sand now.
DEAR" she added quickly, chow do
you like my dress? Isn't it beau
tiful?"
We leave to the readers magma
tion the explanations and the scene
that followed. If, however, any
fair lady, who, like Mrs. Whitman,
has been drawing too heavily on her
hutband's slender income, for silks
and Jewels, is at loss to realize the
scene, let her try Mary's experiment;
and, our word for it, she will find q
new and glad experience in life. Cost
ly silks and jewels may be very pleas
ant things, but they are too dearly
bought when they come as the price
of q husbands embarrassment, men,
tai disquietude or alienation. Too
often the gay young wife wears them
as sign of these unhappy conditions.
Tranquil hearts and sunny homes are
precious things; too precious to be
burdened and clouded by weak vani-
ty and love of show. Keep this in
mind. oh, ye fair ones, who have hus-
bands In moderate circumstances.
Do not let your pride and pleasure
Cypress them Rich clothing, costly
laces, and gems, are poor substitutes
for smiling peace and hearts unshad-
owed by care. Take the lesson and
live by it, rather than offer another
illustration, in your own experience
of the folly we have been endeavoring
to expose and rebuke.

He Saved the Cub.

A young man of Harvey Station, N.
B., out shooting, came upon bear
cub, which he captured and started to
carry home. But it's cries brought its
mother, who soon overlook the hunt
er and grabbed him in her strong
arms. AS she began to squeeze he
prlcked the cub, which cried, and at
that the mother bear relaxed her
hold. The hunter ran, the bear caught
him again, and he repeated the trick
with success. So they kept it up un-
til the man overlook lumberman's
team, and the old bear gave up the
chase and went off, leaving her cub to
it's captor.

Farm Notes.

Hon. Edward Burnett, Of Massachu-
setts, says If he could have only one OF
the two butter COWS or butter reed, he
would take the feed. He would rather
have the poorest COWS on the right
sort o. feed than the best butter COWS
with poor feed.
Bees in their search for honey visit
only one kind of flower on the same
trip. This is not accidental, but it is
a wise provision for preventing by brid-
ization of different varieties from pol
len which bees always distribute in
their journey from flower to flower.
Mr.. w. G. Barry tells the Country
Gentleman that the super6ne pear,
though only moderately productive
and too delicate to snip, can not, in his
estimation, be surpassed for flavor.
Also, the fruit is large and handsome,
smooth, glossy skin, and Juicy, vinous,
rich flesh. And the trees grow we'll.
An excellent thing to feed to poultry,
especially hens and pullets, is parched
corn 1t makes but little difference
how black it is so long as the grains
retain their shape. The best plan is to
crush it and mix with other meal, as
by this means they are sure to pick up
a sufficient quantity to do them good.
There is more wool grown on each
sheep than formerly, the average hav-
ing doubled in twenty years. In
1880 the product was two and one
half pounds per sheep, while in 1885
it had risen to five pounds. This is
due to the grading up of common focks
and improving them with the use of
merino rams.
A French cultivator gained a gold
medal at an exhibition in France on g.
superb lot of potatoes which heraised
in the following manner: When the
young stems were four inches in height
all but two Of the central ones were
cut away, and those only allowed to
grow. The tubers grow much larger In
consequence.
Mrs. Haddock, of Iowa, in her pa
per "Women as Landlords" read at
the Women's Congress in Louisville,
estimates, that l 900 women own and
manage farms in her own State, while
in Oregon women farmers are so nu-
merous that they excite no comment.
The number of women landowners is
increasing all over the Union.

Weed Out.

"Weed OUT" Is an excellent waite h
word in the abstract for everybody.
The farmer can readily appreciate its
significance, because his happiness,
health and prosperity all depend
largely upon the vigor and persistency
with which the wedding out process is
carried on. He must be constantly
at it in order to make his business
pay. In herd and flock the scrubs
and runts must be weeded out, and
so the same process goes on in every
department Of farm work. Taking
the term in it's broadcast construction,
it is without doubt well worthy to be.
come the watchword of every farmer
who desires to reach the highest excel
lence as an agriculturist, and to reap
the richest rewards for labor be.

The red rose whispers of passion and the white
rose breathes of love;

With flush on its petal tips:
FOR the love that is purest and sweetest
Has kiss of desire ON the lips

USES OF MAGIC INK.
How 1t 10 Made and How 1t May He Ad-
VAntAgeOuRlY EmplOYed.

To make IN ink, black at the time of writing,
but which shall disappear after short time, boil
nut gals In aqua vita. put Roman vttriol and
little gum in 1t. Writing done with this ink
will vanish in twenty-four hours.
Thus affirms the Scientific american
At first we could not imagine what
practical use could be made of such
ink. but upon careful consideration,
there are many ways in which it may
be advantageously employed. For in.
stance, when well-dressed, highly
polished stranger, with tongue we'll
fabricated, and with manners guileless
and bland. wants you to sign receipt,
or some innocent document, "merely
as matter of FORM" why do it at once.
but use the magic ink. and when the
aforesaid gentlemen with the fabricated
tongue, twenty-four hours later, en-
deavors to convert the innocent docu-
ment you signed into a promissory
note, presto! your good name has
vanished!
Another good use of magic ink would
be in the writing Of spring poetry. The
poems would then be valuable, because
the editor could use the paper to write
editorials on.
Hasty letters, abusive letters, love
letters, letters relating your personal
grievances, letters filled with gossip
about your neighbors, letters dilating
upon some scandal, letters advising
young people not to marry, and letters
ordering your paper stopped would be
improved if written with magic ink,
that the fatal characters may not again
confront you in the inevitable day of
repentance.
Yes. there are many good uses to
which magic ink may be put; in general
to the recording Of all thoughts t.
which folly prompts expression.- Vest
